Yes, you are 100% correct, for those following along, Maryvale is one of the worst areas in Phoenix... and yes “serial shooter” still on the loose. Not that it helps much, but we are in probably the best part of Maryvale being at west end and only 1/2 mile out of Glendale... Not too far from the Cardinals Stadium, but if I had to guess I would say we hear what we call “the ghetto bird” at least 4 out of 7 nights and many times its twice in a night, that is hearing it circling right over us, if we are just talking within a few square miles visible, I would say half a dozen times a night you could see them circling somewhere if you were outside watching for them. Strangely enough we rarely ever find out why.
We have never had any trouble here (knock on wood), though I hear gun shots very regularly... and many of my neighbors have... One across the street and down a few houses, on the corner has been broken into half a dozen times since we have lived here.
I credit it to #1 Primarily plus 3 other factors,
1) God has protected me and my family.
2) We have dogs that bark a lot at anything.
3) I don’t hide the fact I own guns.
4) I work from home and somebody is here most all the time, My wife is typically up early about 3 hours after I go to bed late...
